People are going wild for a handy new shortcut that will change the way you use Google Docs (GOOG, GOOGL)
- Google has introduced new URLs that can open up blank Google Docs with the click of a button.
- To try it out, simply point your browser to doc.new or other Google URLs.
- Here's an incomplete list of these new URLs, along with a way to take the shortcut to the next level.
Last month, Google rolled out a new time-saving shortcut for anyone who spends a lot of time in Google Docs.
To open a new, blank document — or spreadsheet, or presentation — all you have to do is go to one of Google's handy new URLs.
So if you want to start a new document, you just have to type "doc.new" into your browser.

Here's an incomplete list of the new shortcuts:
- http://doc.new — opens new Google document
- http://sheets.new — opens new Google Sheets spreadsheet
- http://deck.new — opens new Google presentation
- http://site.new — creates new Google sites website
- http://form.new — creates new Google form
This might seem like a minor new shortcut, but a lot of people are pumped.
